Hi all

I am trying to work out if it is ok to install an antivirus product onto my
Windows 2003 SQL Cluster.

According to Symantec I can:

but Microsoft don't seem too keen on the idea:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q250355&ID=KB;EN-US;Q250355

Has anyone managed to install antivirus onto a cluster with no problems or
is it best just to leave my servers as they are?

Thanks

Kristi

You can install, just exclude the MSCS directory and where you put your SQL
Data.

Trend Micro with Server Protect have a good solution.

Agreed, that is what I recommend and use, but you still need to exclude
directories :)
